Red Cross offers new perspective on summer safety

The organization gets its message across through the eyes of a child.

The Canadian Red Cross is offering up some perspective on a summer safety issue with the release of a jarring new video.

Working with ICF Olson, the organization created this spot showing the devastating outcome that can come when children aren’t actively watched around water – but all from the perspective of the unsupervised toddler.

Along with showing just how easily a small child can potentially drown, the video also offers up the info parents should keep in mind when it comes to their kids’ safety, with one goal of the campaign to get parents signing up for first aid classes and learning how to rescue someone safely.
